Be warned, I am an avid fan of the games. I was hoping for a tie in that built upon that world and brought new people want to experience the majesty of the games as well as make longtime fans want to revisit them.
Not surprised. With the first “season” of 30 min episodes x3 spending 3 minutes of Trevor listening to two drunks talk about bestiality I knew this was going to be a discrace to the source material.
Where to start. Grant Dinesti is not even in the **** show. There is a clocktower of sorts with no tie whatsoever. This being a character that had spiderman like abilities and all players tried to use at least once. Alucard is thebiteration from SOTN, who seems to spam the Alucard sword special attack even when not holding the sword, also the Alucard sword now functions as the sword familiar only with mind controlled movements and without any of the cool sentience from SOTN. I was actually hoping for CVIII transylvanian widowed peak mini-me dracula who used the ball of destruction that some who turned Aryan featured ala micheal jackson by the end. I mean with all the other stupid **** here it would work.
Hector from Curse of Darkness shows up and seems to be a mixture of Joachim and Hector only he is a necromancer. Isaac is not black and we inly see him use his forging skill once. Isaac is a badass fighter superior to most vampires it seems and Hector cant fight???
Carlevania now has a warp drive that can be remotely hacked by an inexperienced mage.
Vampires can be killed by single sword cuts by the end of the series.
Trevors morningstar has an infinitely exploding tip. He uses no other subweapons. No badass cross, holy water, axe, bibuti
Dracula uses one spell and not other magic when fighting the trio, and never uses a demon form. Also, in season I, he summons an entire army od demons himself, wtf does he need forge master for?
While slogra and gaibon make a short appearance, their fictional background as written in the Castlevania Bathroom was not expanded upon.
Sadly, the character of Death was gone copletely like Grant. Maybe he was too busy being 40,000 years from hence and hanging with Galamoth, who also doesnt make an appearance.
The fight scenes for Carmillas forces were appalling. Strangely, elite forces of vampire lords move and die like regular humans.
Count Olrox didnt make an appearance either. Which this series would have been a great opportunity to expand his backstory.
Lots of of the final fight takes place in a library with no master librarian to be found nor any enspelled books.
The journey to Castlevania becomes *poof* you’re there instead of multiple levels on the way and saving/waking the alternate characters. No pirate ship :( which was the best stage to use grant as he was a pirate back in the day.
Absolutely no backstory for any vampire generals except for f-ing Godbrand. All the token ethnic vampires are silent. So call SJW all u want, this **** is still white washed even with changing Isaac to a melanin rich skin tone.
This show is a steaming pile of ****.
Thank god Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night came out and is such an f-ing triumph over this garbage that Konami has signed up for.
There was soooooo much wonderful starting poonts they could have tied to the games. But the creators were lazy, and it shows.
Criticism for the characters staying in a library forever while the plot drags on however kudos for keeping to the plausibility that answers would take a long time ti find in that jumble of information.
The few redeaming qualities: the church is bad and the show pulls no stops in showing the horror and stupidity of inquisition type religions. We so root for Dracula when he smites the bishop and co.
they do actually show alucards room which many gamers speculate even existed. Additionally this room turns dracula from his madness which was great and poignant.
At the end isaac is making an army, hector is serving carmilla and Castlevania is wrecked and rooted to the spot effectively making it just a castle rather than Castlevania.
It is hard to put into words the revulsion and rising of bile that watching this drivel to the end has inspired within me.
I am saddened for those who have enjoyed this as they are chattel being fed cast of rotting rinds of a beatuful masterpiece that has been butchered and tainted.
I curse those enjoy this venom and poison riddled show. I meditate on wishing the creators could have their skin peeled off and their entrails vivisected while tortuously awake for this is what they deserve for their arrogance and sacrilege to one of the best horror action video games ever created. The work of the producers is a slap in the face to the talent and hard work of the game developers, programmers, art designers, and sound composers.
This series is a wasted opportunity and a failure of the creators. This pathetic example of poorly directed **** is a festering cancer.… Expand
